Chapter 55 Lin Gong: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
"Chunyun, who is screaming?"

Lin Wan'er asked the maid next to her.

Chunyun shook his head and said, "I don't know. When I came here just now, I didn't find anything."

"That's strange." Lin Wan'er pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go and take a look."

"Okay." Chunyun nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Wan'er left the room with her maid and walked towards the front yard.

……

A little before.

Prime Minister’s residence, front yard.

After a few days of recuperation, Lin Gong's injuries have almost healed, and even his complexion has returned to normal.

The sun was shining brightly today, so he was basking in the front yard as usual.

Just as he was eating fruit and resting on a rattan chair, a figure appeared in front of him.

A middle-aged man with a three-inch beard walked over with a gloomy face.

When Lin Gong saw the person coming, he immediately stood up from the rattan chair and nodded respectfully:

"Father!"

The visitor was Lin Gong's father, the prime minister of the time, Lin Ruofu.

He put his hands behind his back, looked at Lin Gong expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?"

Lin Gong trembled all over and said hurriedly: "Father, what do you mean by this?"

"Could it be that the child has offended you again?"

"Please tell me, father!"

Lin Ruofu looked at the maid next to him and said coldly, "You guys go down first."

"Yes." The maids nodded in agreement, bowed to Lin Ruofu, and then left one after another.

After all the maids left, Lin Ruofu looked at Lin Gong and said, "Did the Second Prince come to the mansion a few days ago to help Wan'er treat her illness?"

When Lin Gong heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he nodded, saying, "Yes... yes."

"I don't know why you are asking this, father."

He had not told his father about this before.

After all, this is not a glorious thing.

I originally thought my father wouldn't know, but how could he know now...

Lin Ruofu snorted again, "Then the injuries on your body were also caused by the Second Prince at that time?"

Lin Gong nodded and said, "That's right, but the truth is..."

Lin Ruofu waved his hand, interrupting Lin Gong's words, and said decisively: "Let me ask you, why did you stop the Second Prince when he came over?"

"Do you know that if you do this, you might bring disaster upon your family?"

Lin Gong was stunned for a moment, and then he said in shock: "Father, you...are you exaggerating a little? How could it be so serious?"

"Isn't it just that I offended the Second Prince?"

"How can he have the right to decide the life and death of our family?"

"Moreover, father is the head of all officials. He is second only to one man and above all others... Ouch!"

Before Lin Gong could finish his words, he was hit by a rattan stick and let out a painful scream.

Then, he saw that a rattan stick had appeared in his father's hand at some point.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ruofu swung the cane in his hand again and hit Lin Gong hard.

"Oh, father, please don't hit me, don't hit me!"

"It hurts, it hurts..." However, when Lin Ruofu saw Lin Gong begging for mercy, he not only had no intention of stopping, but continued to whip him.

"Today I will beat you to death, you arrogant, ignorant fellow."

"Do you think that just because you are the prime minister's son, you are not afraid of anything?"

"Let me tell you, there is His Majesty above you and the Queen Mother behind you, who do you think you are?"

"Moreover, as a brother, not only did you not try to find a way to cure your sister's illness, but you also delayed the treatment of others because of some personal matters."

"If anything happens to your little sister, you'll be a murderer and deserve to die a hundred times!"

After Lin Ruofu hit the man with the cane a few times, he felt a little relieved and stopped what he was doing.

At this time, Lin Gong's arms and chest were all covered with marks from being hit by the cane.

Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to endure the pain.

At this time, Lin Ruofu threw down the cane and said to Lin Gong: "Word came from the palace yesterday. The Queen Mother knew about this and was very angry. She scolded the Princess on the spot."

"For so many years, the Queen Mother has never allowed Wan'er to get close to us. She has been very dissatisfied. Now you have caused such a thing. It's really..."

"This is the first time, and also the last time, do you understand?"

Lin Gong quickly nodded and agreed, saying, "I understand, Father, I really understand."

Now he finally understood why his father was so angry.

It turned out that the Queen Mother knew about this.

Well, then he didn't deserve to be beaten this time.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Ruofu said, "In the future, when you do things, you should use your brain more and try to think longer-term!"

"Don't worry about anything else. Just focus on the small profits in front of you and lose the great opportunities behind you."

Lin Gong rubbed the marks on his arm and nodded, "Got it, Father."

at this time.

A guard came from the direction of the gate.

"Master, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."

"Who is it?" Lin Ruofu asked.

The guard replied, "It's the Second Prince."

"Hmm?" Lin Ruofu's eyes lit up and he waved his hand, "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and invite him over."

"Yes." The guard immediately turned and left.

After Lin Ruofu tidied his clothes, he said to Lin Gong, "Be careful with your words when you meet the Second Prince later."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll show you how I'll deal with you later."

"Got it." Lin Gong put down his sleeves to cover the wounds on his body.

Soon, a handsome young man, led by a guard, walked slowly towards the gate.

"Oh, it turns out that the Second Prince is here." Lin Ruofu bowed to Li Chengze and said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could go pick you up."

When Li Chengze saw Lin Ruofu, he also bowed and said, "So Prime Minister Lin is in the mansion. It's a coincidence that I came here this time."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Gong next to him, and found that he just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Li Chengze was somewhat suspicious, wondering what had happened to him and what had gone wrong. But when he saw the wound on his chest, he vaguely guessed something.

"Second Prince, why are you here today?" Lin Ruofu asked.

Li Chengze said: "Actually, the reason I came here this time is..."

At this time, Lin Wan'er came from the direction of the inner courtyard. When she saw Li Chengze, her face instantly lit up with joy.

She knew that Brother Chengze would definitely come today!
Then, Lin Wan'er waved towards Li Chengze and shouted, "Brother Chengze!"
